Background:
Myras learned early that life was a game and he was often on the losing end because he was small. This was until he realized it was a game. Justice, fairness and good were all sick illusions that society had convinced themselves of. The trust was it was who could manipulate others could get what they wanted and with the right trick anyone could be manipulated. There were rules, ramifications, causes and effects and it was dangerous to manipulate, but then again life was dangerous if you were small.
Myras life was quite unspectacular in most ways other than being small and bullied. It was true his father despised the runt and while his mother loved him that love got him nowhere. THat all changed when he learned the game. The town wizard as old and scary as he seemed was as human as anyone else. Myras slowly figured out how to get on his good side, which was not all that hard as he like so many felt alone and isolated. With some fake smiles and feigned innocence Gurden the wizard was teaching him for free.
When Myras had learned enough to impress people with his magic he began to worm his way into society, but his confidence in his abilities was too great and his desires outreached his abilities and working his way through the noble family Takkar he was caught in a web of his less than subtle manipulations that involved setting brother against brother and more.
He was sent to the salt mines only because they could not prove the worst of the crimes and no death was at his hand.
The mines were very hard on Myras. He was small and weak and he found himself in a very different world than he was used to. He also realized he needed to be much subtler. Death was too easy here and he was to fragile. He was also very limited in his ability to use magic without his books and components. He watched and learned and saw the ebb and flow of people in the mines and when his had everything just right he set two groups against each other and in the chaos that followed he used his ability to be just another "Face in the Crowd", no matter how out of place he seemed to simply walk out with some guards. He could only do it so long and so he had to time it just right, but it went off like clockwork.
Character concept:
Myras is a manipulator of people and things with a focus on illusions. He strongly prefers subtle manipulation over brute force.
